No Plan Baking
One key to baking without a plan is to know enough recipes and know enough about the science of baking to be able to come up with ideas on the fly and rescue a recipe that has gone tragically wrong. The other key is to have the confidence to risk a waste of your time and ingredients.
Know the desired texture of doughs and batters. Chemical leavened cake batter should be liquid but not loose. Egg white leavened cake batter should be a bit thicker. This is an instinct to develop for the reckless baker.
Start by basing your recipe off existing recipes. Learn the fundamentals of baking. Learn what the results should look like and what they should feel like.
Mostly, just bake with hubris.
